Hey look, Karen Carpenter was a really nice drummer! All the videos and audios of her certaintly back this up. I'd even put her up as one of the best female drummers ever. And I'll go to bed soon and sleep VERY well knowing this fact. She was just a wonderfully gifted talent that doesn't come around very often. She will always be remembered for her flawless, unique, one-of-a-kind singing voice. But her drumming ability should never be over-shadowed by that fact. To lose such a talent, at such a young age, really makes it sting alot more. Even to this day, we miss her so...Play On!
